Triton are a reclusive, hardened people, dwelling at the depths of En's relentless oceans. Little is known of these people outside of triton circles, but tales tell of great cities warded against attacks by divine blessing. Most Triton predominantly worship Ursula.

While Ursula created the designs of the triton, determining what form the triton would take and abilities they would share, it was Minnow's hand which shaped the first triton and scattered them about the oceans. Krakinos served as a consultant during the process, desiring that the triton be proficient enough warriors to battle alongside the kraken they were designing to protect the oceans.
